Basically, I just asked my mum to show me some basics. Because she’s not much of a sewer I had to figure out most things of my own, but it is totally worth it.

How I did it: How did I actually do it? Even I can't tell. I'm in high school currently so I had to write an orient poem for my homework. I feel quite related to Japanese poetry so I chose haiku (haiku is a Japanese form that is consisted from 17 syllables).The best thing to do is, in my opinion, to wait for some strong emotions (anger, happiness, sadness etc.) so you'll be simply able to pour them onto the paper (or your computer).
